hakka Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 That is the steps to being Pardewed with the aftermath included. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The thing is, he was never good as a winger from the start. Just a bit of a goal threat who worked hard. Been obvious pretty much for 18 months he should be up front or on the bench, and preferably the latter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndegwa Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I think we all saw this coming from the start, didn't we? Pretty good Good Good back-up Works hard Does a job Should be up front Shouldn't be starting Good defending! Well played Offers nothing going forward Can't be mad at him, it's Pardew's fault Starting to annoy me Fair enough, well defended. He does work hard like. There's no one in the box He looks knackered Play him up front Seriously shouldn't be starting It's not his fault but he's massively getting on my tits < I'm about here. He's not even really getting back anymore What's the point? I hate him Drop him Sell him f*** off :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been obvious pretty much for 18 months he should be up front or on the bench, and preferably the latter. He's a striker for me. He did a few good things on the wing but that was mainly due to our end product on the wings being gash Ben Arfa aside. Defo should be getting game time, but more so from the bench if all our other striking options is fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The only thing he offered on the wing was the goal threat when he drifted into the box. Kinda understandable considering the bloke is a striker. He's a fucking joke as a wide player quite frankly, yet seems to be free from criticism in the stands because he works hard and passes safely to teammates. Imagine playing a system with one striker and then having a winger in the team who only offers workrate Beyond the pale. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The people in the stands are thick as pigshit. I hate to say it but it's completely true. Say what you want about Man U fans but the real ones aren't fooled by solid work rate if ultimately the player in question isn't fulfilling what's needed in his position on the field.

AlanSkÃrare Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Just did some research for a completley unrelated matter and stumbled upon Dieudonné M'Bala's Twitter account, the "comedian" (anti-semitic propagandist and racist) who popularized the "quenelle" that Anelka performed last Christmas. The Gouff follows him on Twitter. Not accusing him or reading too much into it, but Dieudonné has a very big (and ill-informed) cult-following among French athletes and artists. Hope Gouffran isn't one of his supporters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I believe that were Pardew to actually be given the boot after 5 or 6 games, had Bobby Robson been around to replace him, then his first act would be to make Gouffran a striker again. He may even get 10 goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may even get 10 goals. He could be comparable to Kevin Gallacher though, who Robson used a fair bit on the wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I suppose the difference though is that Bobby had Shearer and Ferguson already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Taylor Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Wouldn't be disappointed if he never wore our shirt again under Pardew. He's fucking pointless the way we use him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 He wasn't even keeping to his position. He was faffing about like a tit in the centre of the park, losing the ball and pathetically passing responsibility to Haidara all the time. The tracking back he supposedly does so well was virtually non-existant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Pointless is the best description of the bloke in his current use under Pardew. He offers absolutely nowt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TruToon94 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 He's a striker with a not unreasonable goal scoring record. So Pardew plays him out on the wings. Sigh. I don't think he's shit, I do think he's been very much Pardewed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 He's definitely not a winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's shit, I do think he's been very much Pardewed. Agree. At first when he was playing as more of a wide forward he looked ok. He was getting into good positions and scoring a few. He's gradually been dropped further and further back until he's now playing as an orthodox right midfielder and apart from having the ability to run he offers absolutely nothing in that role.

Deckard 13 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 You need players like gouff in your squad. He is the definition of solid and unspectacular. There is no way he should be playing every game for us though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Absolutely loved Gouff when he first signed for us, his work rate was brilliant. He's had everything that was good about him coached out. His job is now protecting the fullback and nothing else, all this whilst playing out of position. Can't stand him now, epitomises Pardewed when he plays, he's completely ruined by our cunt of a manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 There's nothing been coached out of him, he's just a mediocre (at very best) striker with tenacity being played horribly out of position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I liked the we watched Gouffran at Bordeaux and the player that started his career here, but that is just gone for whatever reason. We can debate those reasons for hours, but his attacking contribution is just so minimal. He's at his best in the box, yet he is barely ever in there, and usually fluffs his chance when he is. For a player with his style to have not scored a goal in the entirety of 2014, while consistently starting every match is incredible. Another that has just badly regressed.

Disco Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Pretty much the worst starting midfielder in the league these days. Would love to know what dirt he has on Pardew and co that ensures he keeps getting picked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 He was okay when he first came over. Classic case of being Pardewed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
